the counter argument to this is: How many of the EA sports games made the update to a new underlying engine (ie. frostbite) during this current console generation (xbox one, ps4)?

From that perspective it is a investment/product strategy decision that has been made on the NHL series, calling for a "patch" level of delta between releases, compared to anything evolution/revolution-ary seen/attempted in the other sports games.
